<h3 class="section">7.5 The Java library testsuites.</h3>

<p>Runtime tests are executed via &lsquo;<samp>make check</samp>&rsquo; in the
<samp><var>target</var>/libjava/testsuite</samp> directory in the build
tree.  Additional runtime tests can be checked into this testsuite.
</p>
<p>Regression testing of the core packages in libgcj is also covered by the
Mauve testsuite.  The <a href="http://sourceware.org/mauve/">Mauve Project</a>
develops tests for the Java Class Libraries.  These tests are run as part
of libgcj testing by placing the Mauve tree within the libjava testsuite
sources at <samp>libjava/testsuite/libjava.mauve/mauve</samp>, or by specifying
the location of that tree when invoking &lsquo;<samp>make</samp>&rsquo;, as in
&lsquo;<samp>make MAUVEDIR=~/mauve check</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
<p>To detect regressions, a mechanism in <samp>mauve.exp</samp> compares the
failures for a test run against the list of expected failures in
<samp>libjava/testsuite/libjava.mauve/xfails</samp> from the source hierarchy.
Update this file when adding new failing tests to Mauve, or when fixing
bugs in libgcj that had caused Mauve test failures.
</p>
<p>We encourage developers to contribute test cases to Mauve.
